I've heard that the tablets you can take can damage your liver and the topical treatments don't really work. Is this true? Any ideas?

Does anyone have any tips, ideas or treatments that have produced results. I have had this since about 2001or 2002. I have not met any other person that has this aside from online.(small town) I did a focus group for pain and it was suggested by another person that has it that I should try Malic Acid. I have been taking it for about a month. The pain that I have all the time is in my back (upper), my neck & shoulders. I occasionally get other pain in my pinpoints but that isn't everyday like my back. I take pain medication, I use Bio Freeze, I get manipulation, I take muscle relaxers and I use a heat sock. Plus we are getting ready to move into a place that has a hot tub. I am getting very frustrated with the pain. So I am asking for any suggestions from anyone else that has found relief. Please I will take any ideas that anyone else has tried. I have an appointment to discuss acupuncture but that isn't for months. Medical or non medical advice or tips. Thanks.

Fluid retention: I have been prescibed a drug to control my blood pressure, I understand that it works like a diuretic and helps to rid the fluid build up in the body. So can someone explain to me please why have I been told to drink lots of water? I know it helps to flush out the kidneys etc., but does this fluid build up have anything to do with the amount of water we consume or does it comes from a different source i.e. muscles.

I am finding it very hard to reconcile that I an increase of fluid intake is not contradictory to me taking medication for blood pressure.

I know that sounds weird. It's not from being overweight. I have very labored breathing going up the stairs also. What do you think this could be?

So I have been with my partner and only him for a good 5 months. We recently started without a condom, and within the past 3 months I have had two yeast infections. Well one, but I feel another one coming on. I dont understand how, and im going to make an appointment today but has anyone been through this? I've never gone to get checked for a yeast infection i sorta assumed the first one was and it went away when i used the monistat, but I havent done anything different. I thought i got the first one from a bubble bath. I dont understand. Im old enough to go to the DR. on my own i just can't tell my mom cause she has mental problems and she acts crazy whenever something is wrong with me.

I think I developed an allergy reaction to elastic! It started when I wore a tshirt/bra combo and noticed red itchy bumps around my waist, where the shirt ended, and shoulders. So I stopped wearing them for awhile, like 6mos, started again and this time, the bumps migrated to the area around my hips and upper thighs. Now, I'm left with blemishes from the bumps. I tried other brands of women's panties to no avail, but am now wearing men's boxers and briefs-which are comfy! But I was curious if anyone else has these problems!

My 13 yr old child was sick all last yr, w/headaches, dizziness, nausea and sore throat.The school year was a struggle, but she made excellent grades(missed 20 days). MRI, ultrasounds-all negative, pediatrician recommended a therapist, diagnoses- depression, but once school let out symptoms went away. Now that school starts up, symptoms are back. I looked at the dates when the symptoms started and it was around 23 Aug fro this yr and last yr. Coincidentally, her period started for the first time around 23 Aug of last yr!
She says its different from last yr, she thinks its just her allergies. I don't know-she seems fine on the weekends. Now she says her stomach burns along w/sorethroat, headaches, congestion, nausea-no vomiting,no temperature, no dizziness(so far!). Summer was fine and its starting again! We live in Columbia, SC-which isn't good for allergy sufferers. Zyrtec didn't work last yr, currently on Clarinex and Nasacort, started that 4 days ago. Please help, going nuts!

Why does no one take note of the DNA string no. 22? It appears that the affect of modern living alters this DNA string to change normal cells into cancerous cells. Can any one tell me if they have seen any studies on this???
